Awesome!

It looks way less bulkier than I thought it was going to be, so that's a good start.

Al right, now you see the arrow below the tablet, on the belt itself?

-he points-

Press that down, and you'll hear a voice command saying 'Take Control' in my voice.

Normally you press the down arrow to ready it before the tablet but you're new and I'm taking you through it, but because the tablet is already in it'll announce 'Traveller' in a similar fashion.

That's when you press the up arrow to transform.

Main Room (Jean)

-Jean nods.-

-OK, press the down button, presumably the voice does speak, and then push the up button...-

-Here goes nothing!-

-She does it readily.

-just like he said, the belt announced both phrases-

-and as she activates the transformation, sand seemingly rises from the ground, encasing her in her own localised sandstorm-pillar-

-it isn't actually harming her though, but it'd probably be surprising-

-Xenos has a mirror ready for when the sand subsides, showing Jean in the reflection, wearing this armour-

-the belt announces another phrase-

New Horizons, New Possibilities! Begin your destiny, Traveller!

-Xenos is impressed as well-

I can't remember if it says that every time, or just the first time.

Main Room (Jean)

-Whoa! She's startled by the sandstorm pillar, but then she sees herself in the mirror once it's done, and...-

"W-Whoa... I-I look like one of those heroes from those Japanese TV shows!"

-Not an anime, the live action ones. She has no idea what to call them*.-

-Still, she's amazed!-

-It might be a little dorky seeing someone in the armor nearly shaking with excitement.-

*I had "Sentai" in mind, but that's actually a real series, and I want to avoid using a reference to an IRL series unless it's something I can fudge the details to (Such as Star Ocean: The Second Story with Claude and Rena being renamed "Crawd" and "Stella").

Hehehe, you're excited aren't you?

Lets take this outside, road-test some of your abilities.

-he gets up from the couch-

Come along, Jean.

-he heads outside-

-She can't exactly help it. You pretty much gave her her life's dream.-

"Y-Yeah."

-Jean follows Xenos outside, somewhat anxious about the upcoming test.-

Al right, lets see, lets see...

Kinda wish I was more prepared, because I don't have anything prepared to test you right now.

So, I dunno.

See whether you can run to those trees and back, maybe... three times?

If I keyed it right, you shouldn't feel exhausted from the distance covered, and you'll be faster than you probably have ever ran in your life.

-OK, run to those trees and back...-

-Jean's not exactly the fastest or has the best energy normally, but with this...-

"OK..."

-And...-

-Run, run, run!-

-Jean finds she got to the trees a lot sooner than she anticipated-

-like she made it there faster than an Olympic athlete!-

-and it doesn't feel like she has to stop either-

-if she wanted, she could just keep running-

-in fact, she's almost on the verge of hitting the tree-

-yet, reflexes feel sharper like she knew it was coming, and can turn around easily-

-JEAN HAS NEVER FELT MORE ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE-

-However, she does turn around quickly and returns.-

-Upon stopping right in front of Xenos, completely and utterly dumbfounded.-

"H-Holy crap! T-That was..."

-Geez... Jean never imagined being able to go that fast!-

-And heck, she can still keep going!-

-He wanted her to do it three times, so...-

"H-Hang on..."

-First time done... and then she gets to doing the other two times.-

-the second and third times are easily done-

-she feels like maybe she could've done it six times-

Haha, yeah!

Looks like I've keyed it correctly.

I thought you might, but I just want to be sure that everything's working at the moment.

I'll figure out ways to test the limits another time.

Now, weightlifting.

How confident do you think you are at it?

'cause if I keyed it right, you should be able to lift at least four tonnes.

-Four tonnes?!-

"T-That much...?!"

"S-So, uh... how do we go about testing this one?"

#1326915: Jul 30th 2018 at 9:27:23 AM

Well, I can shape-shift into something that weighs four tonnes.

You'll be at your limit, though. Like I said- it's 50% above the human peak.

-Xenos shifts and turns into a rock in front of her-

-it's a reasonably sized rock, but probably not one Jean could ever think to lift before-

Al right- I think I'm 4 tonnes.

"O-OK..."

-AND LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFT-

-it's difficult but...-

-slowly-

-the rock is above her head-

-held in her hands-

Al riiight! Just about accurate on the weightlift.

-the rock suddenly feels much lighter-

-as if it's not there-

-what on earth-?-

-Jean looks up. Did Xenos turn back while she was holding him or something...? Or did he teleport somewhere?-

-...She doesn't even know if he can do that, but who knows?-

-the rock is floating above your head, and turns back into Xenos who drifts back down in front of her-

So far, I'd say Traveller's doing pretty well.

Good tests.

I don't have anything prepared for your attack power though...

And as many times as I've been punched in the face, I haven't really managed to measure how powerful someone's punch is exactly using my face.

"T-That's fine..."

Hmm...

Otherwise, I think you should just have fun with it.

I still need to work on what I'm going to use as your sparring partners though...

Because sparring with me is pointless- I'm too powerful for you to learn off of.

It's like starting your first puzzle with a 50,000 piece puzzle.

Too much at once.

Oh that's pretty simple.

Press the up arrow, and remove the tablet.

Press it again, and you'll transform out of the armour.

You'll lose your abilities of course, but y'know.

Don't want to wear that armour all the time.

-he gives a little shrug-
